mr. miller: mr. speaker, study after study has shown us that investment in quality early education leads to better educational outcomes, stronger job earnings, and lower crime rates. decades of research confirm that quality preschool helps prevent achievement gaps for low-income children with long-term benefits for our nation. but we don't need research to confirm the importance of quality early childhood education. ask any parent in america if it matters to them. the problem is that not enough children have access to it. that's why i have introduced the bipartisan bill, the strong start for america's children act. when congressman hannah, senator harkin and i introduced the bill in november we were joined by the sheriff of minneapolis, a top private sector c.e.o., retired air force general, a parent, and secretary of education arnie duncan. -- arne duncan. they understand the need for greater investment in high quality preschool. my legislation proposes an innovative federal state partnership to inc

mr. miller, for five minutes. mr. speaker, for the past 40 years, my work in this house has been guided by my firm belief that every child, regardless of his or her zip code, deserves a quality education that will prepare them for the future success. and every parent deserves to know that their child's school is helping their son or daughter achieve his or her full potential. that's why under no child left behind we demanded the accountability include transparency on school performance. we share the collective responsibility at all levels of government to make good on the promise of high-quality education for all students. unfortunately, we all know that not every school is living up to that promise. when any school fails its students, it's our responsibility not only to give those students a high-quality public school option but to also improve the low-performing schools. it's simple. no child should be stuck in a failing school. this week is national school choice week. many of my colleagues on the other side of the
